RNA-sequencing analysis of the Diquat-degrading yeast strain Meyerozyma guilliermondii Wyslmt and the discovery of Diquat degrading genes.

ABSTRACT: Diquat is used in agricultural contexts to control the growth of broadleaf and grassy weeds in both terrestrial and aquatic areas. Diquat can be readily absorbed by the soil and can remain therein for extended periods of time, altering the local microenvironment. In this study, the Meyerozyma guilliermondii Wyslmt yeast strain, which has the capacity to degrade Diquat, was isolated from soil exposed to long-term Diquat treatment. Over a 7-day incubation period, this strain was able to remove 42.51% of available Diquat (100 mg/L). RNA-Seq was performed to assess changes in gene expression in this yeast strain over the course of Diquat degradation, revealing 63 and 151 upregulated and downregulated genes, respectively. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed these genes to be most h
